I am SO pleased to share my new book with @JosephEntin, a labor of love. Beginning the 1st pandemic summer, thanks to SSRC & @alondra, 18 @BklynCollege411 students wrote incredible autoethnographies charting the ways inequality was playing out for their families & communities.

Faculty at @BklynCollege411 call in @ChancellorCUNY to drop the charges on the students arrested at the Gaza encampment. Why are our students facing felonies while charges dropped for NYU and many Columbia students?

Prof. @JeanneTheoharis is the author of The Rebellious Life of Mrs. Rosa Parks. CUNY better listen to her.
Please amplify: CUNY faculty are protesting @ChancellorCUNY’s decision to call the cops on our students and demand the charges be dropped.

I feel like I'm losing my mind a little: people understand that "occupying buildings on campus" is, like, one of the most common forms of studen protest for decades and not some devious new ploy devised by professional anarchist plotters, right?
